Urea nitrate is the nitrate salt of the organic base urea. It is an explosive material used in various applications, but it has gained a bad reputation due to its use in many terrorists plots, such as the World Trade Center bombing in 1993.
Contents
Properties
Chemical
Urea nitrate is unstable in basic solution.
Physical
Urea nitrate is a white solid, soluble in water.
Availability
Due to being an explosive material, the sale of urea nitrate is restricted.
Preparation
Urea nitrate can be prepared by reacting urea with nitric acid. The reaction is exothermic, so it's best to do it at low temperatures.
Projects
- Make blasting caps
